Santos guide

Santos is a municipality in the Sao Paulo state of Brazil, founded in 1546 by the Portuguese nobleman Brás Cubas. It is partially located on the island of Sao Vicente which harbors both the city of Santos and the city of Sao Vicente, and partially on the mainland. It is the main city in the metropolitan region of Baixada Santista.

As of 2006, its population was estimated at 418,375. Santos has the biggest seaport in Latin America, which traded over 72 million tons in 2006; is a significant tourist centre; has large industrial complexes and shipping centres, which handle a large portion of the world's coffee exports; as well as a number of other Brazilian exports including steel, oil, cars, oranges, bananas and cotton. The city also displays the Coffee Museum, where, once, coffee prices were negotiated; and a football memorial, dedicated to the city's greatest players, amongst which is Pelé. Its beach's garden, 5.335 Km length, figures in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest beach front garden. Santos is home for the famous football club Santos FC, where Pelé has played. In 1899, Santos was the point of entry for the bubonic plague into Brazil. In October 2006, light crude oil was discovered off the coast in the Santos basin.
